Our Lian Li O11 Dynamic review looks at airflow, thermals, noise levels, and build quality. We also compare the Lian Li O11 Dynamic vs. Thermaltake View 71, NZXT H700i, Cooler Master H500P, and more. The Lian Li O11 is one of the best PC cases we've worked with lately, and stands strong for gaming computers that are air-cooled or water-cooled. This Lian Li O11 Dynamic benchmark tests CPU + GPU temperatures and acoustics. Watch for more!

thank god the pre order is up, ever since ces I fell in love with this case and I have been checking lian li's website consistantly and I am now just finding out about it being up for pre order. Thankfully I can still get it at 100, but honestly 130 is still such a steal for a case like this ESPECIALLY lian li
When you say "These Fans run really really fast!", how fast do you mean? because average fan speed for a lot of people is 1200 - 1500rps, I have fans that do 2000rps but I know I can get case fans that do 3000rps so again how fast is Really Really fast? lol
He states it in the vid. 1900RPM. Which is pretty high for average fans. Noctua Industrials run up to 3000RPM, but then again those are designed for that.
And since 40dBA was apparently the fans at 65%, that gives us an approx. RPM of 1250.
ah cool thanks I did wonder if I just missed him saying it and yeah it was the Noctua fan I was thinking of when I said 2000 and 3000.
TLDR, we need custom water cooling focused case reviewers.
I have one on pre-order and at $100, I really shouldn't be complaining... but here I am.
I got to say there's a lot impressive about this case but the negatives are pretty glaring for custom water cooling. First, the vertical radiator space limitations. czcams.com/video/Zs51JtTxiY0/video.html Being limited to a 125mm thick radiator for the rear chamber vertical mount is a serious drawback. This is likely caused by the front I/O ports and the mounting mount locations. TLDR, I would suggest you move the vertical rad mounting points at least 6mm toward the rear of the case and use a rail system for the mounting points.
There are many 360mm rads that are thicker than 125mm (Hardware Labs, EK PE, etc) and the ones that are thinner, often don't perform well comparatively. Given this, these rads must be put in the main chamber. The problem with that is that the ports at the top (ports at bottom isn't possible due to screw locations, another negative) would be very obstructed by any top mounted radiator. Fans would also have to be in the rear chamber, which is unfortunate given they are commonly an aesthetic component. While I don't have an issue modding this case, others will likely be less enthused. For me, personally, this was one of the most common and vocalized drawbacks on the PC-011 WGX and it's a bit disappointing to see it carry over to the Dynamic.
Then the lack of custom AIB GPU waterblock support, in the horizontal position, is also a negative. Many people own Strix, Aurous, MSI Gaming, EVGA FTW, etc GPUs with blocks. It looks like none of those cards/blocks will work in the horizontal position. Luckily, there is the vertical mounting options, but this has an extra cost and configuration considerations. Also, on that vertical mount, This was also a problem on the WGX, but that model did come with the riser. I hope it is possible to mount the bracket at the top PCIE slot so we can at least put fans in the bottom while the vertical bracket is installed?
Given that der8aurer consulted on the design of this case I'm a little surprised that it has these limitations.
Other (minor) pieces of feedback:
- 5.25 bay option in the upper rear HDD/PSU mounting area for Aquaero/5.25 reservoir bay would be great.
- 140mm ventilation on the bottom mounting bracket, like on the top. ATM the bottom fan/rad mounts only have vents up to the 120mm point. So 140mm fans/rads will not get as much airflow.
- Rad ports at the bottom orientation for the vertical radiator bracket. ATM only top ports are possible. Ports at the bottom is often a superior position because it allows that radiator to be drained more easily. This could be achieved easily by making the vertical rad mounts a top to bottom rail system vs fixed mounting points.
- Ability to swap front aluminum panels (silver panel on black case and black panel on white case)
After having watched hardwarecanucks' video about this case to get those positive vibes and sweet b-rolls, I immediately rushed here to get complete, detailed information with precise and valid data that stems from your rigorous methodolgy. Then I'll go back to Linus oilcooling a laptop inside a volcano or whatever
Perfect. What a world we live in lol.
this comment put me in a fit of laughter hahaha. quality
Good one man, good one.
omg, oilcooling a laptop inside a volcano loool
after getting into this hobby thats basically what the routine is when something new drops
If its designed by der bauer, dose it automatically delid your CPU and apply liquid metal when you close the side?
Ggchb Gig ghb if only Lian li were also based in Germany then yes - because German engineering
::)
German engineering is great until it forces you with mandatory upgrade after 2-5 years.
It is common myth nowdays as german products are mostly mediocre like everything else. In the past german engineering was before its time, now they are in the same basket as everyone else.
:D :D
Yup. Look at VW as a good example.
RoboDog well in terms of their cars (like vw) their very robust but my current one is a 07 plate so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ that's probs when they had their superior engineering -
Edit: it's not that German engineering has gone done - supposedly others have catches up a little that it's no longer keeps ahead, but German engineering is still the best to date.
10:19 that GPU sag uh hurts
saw it too at 2:20, hurts :(
Damian Rath if it wasn't Steve, I would think it was not installed in the right slot.
I checked my card as soon as I see this comment and fortunately mine's still straight....for now at least
@Damian Rath: My MSI R9 390 (which is actually in a similar-looking Lian-Li case) has more sag than this card (it's a thick, heavy card), though it's very close. It annoyed me at first but it's never had any harmful effect I've witnessed.
I've had worse. Eventually caused that pci-e slot to die.
Funny how ironic that a performance based case looks 10 times better than some other "looks" based cases with terrible airflow at the same price. Nice job Lian Li, will probably buy this
does the 011 have good airflow?
@@briabbruh6183 Yes
Because it got so popular, I thought this case was just designed to look flashy, but was surprised when the temperatures were actually really good.
@@dilbophagginz how should i position my fans if my cpu is liquid cooled?
@@davidkim7653the 3 fans on the side if u can, 2 below, aio on top and a exhaust in the back
Nice timing on the ending.

@@richardworcester8256 ?
were did all the reply’s go?
I love how thorough you are with air flow testing, saved me money from buying extra fans and gave me some assurance I am buying a great case. Cheers!
First case review I've seen that made me instantly want one. No compromises.
The View37 is also one I would love, but I'm kind of done with acrylic... that stuff scratches if you look at it wrong.
6:40
GPU: "I have crippling depression"
Jay has a video on dealing with "gpu sag" lol
I would have really loved to see an “all possible fans” configuration because you can argue that someone using the O11 dynamic for air cooling has that option.
I really do feel you should include “max # of fans” in your review as 5 intake and 4 exhaust would probably be amazing in this case even at a normalized 40dba
6Twisted have you tried any other config with 5 fans? Like 3 side intake and 1top 1 bottom (both out) at the very end of the case to get the air go
What a hardcore tech guy Steve is. "Electricity is down, use ALL the UPSes! Record untill nothing remains!" *Clips to black.. Faint backlight*
T.T7
Legendary timing at the end Steve, great work!
Went with this for my first ever build. Absolutely amazing.
Also your video recommendations were great.
Love the timer on the charts, tells me if I need to hit that pause.
It is actually amazing what der8auer achieved here. He modified an existing Lian Li miditower case and it sells for 130$! With a watercooling capacity which is usually only available in Big Tower or Cube Case from Lian Li at prices 300$ upwards!
I really hope he gets to work on a number of other Lian Li products!
After a long wait..I finally have this case coming in Thursday. Super pumped!
Awesome case! Excellent review as always, I'm glad to see something come through that wasn't a bad airflow or poorly implemented tempered glass setup.
Hm, extremely interested in the Air once it releases. I really like the glass box design, but if the air allows better cooling I might be more inclined for that one.
Also, massive kudos to Lian Li and der8auer. Finally a case where mounting your GPU vertically makes BOTH it *and* the CPU run cooler. So now your case isn't only running cooler, it also looks cooler.
I love that we got the sound of the motorized lazy susan, out of box noise level?
Another awesome review! So cool to see a product come through the lab that you can really get enthusiastic about. Keep up the great work! Thanks!!!
Have to thank you guys for doing this review (yeah I know its been almost a year ago) but I'm loving this case and the look it gives my new build.
Would you do another review with full 9 fan configuration? I'm just quite curious at what sort of configurations would work well as I am getting this case but not going to be doing any liquid cooling for a while
Dam r u me, I'm asking the same question and trying to find an answer
@@ferreiraaustin i saw another review with 6 fan setup. No one wants to deck it out with 9. But to be fair most people would probably go for liquid cooling
i know this is two years late LOL but i do 3 intake bottom, side and 3 exhaust on top and my temps are crispy low
@@milkyykittyy I just got this case from cyberpower I hope they install everything correctly. I also bought a 360mm radiator and then then extra fans. What u think would be best to install those?
I run 3 bottom intake, a 360 aio intake on the side, and three exhaust out the top. Works fuckin mint with a 5900x and 3080. Hope it helps.
Gamers Nexus logic: "Budget is three fans that makes since"
ME: "9 SPOTS×9 FANS= MAX COOLING !!!"
late comment
but yea I've replaced the front panel with perforated one, and installed 12 fans in total (including 3 from AIO). the fans themselves cost more than the case itself.
Best ending to a case review ever!
Awesome vid, thanks for the dedication to providing your viewers info, working off a ups just to get the vid happening!
I swear these cases looks more and more like 3D printer enclosures. xD
Hi, Thank you for your review. i have already purchased this case after watching your video. This is really an awesome case but i have one question hope you can help me to find out. Is there anyway to change the color of the Power LED? thanks :)
Really excited to see the Air review when it's released.
The review look good here as well. I’m really liking the case for my new build. Thanks. I like the back exhausted fan look so look forward to seeing this case in more test.
How does one receive 9 fans and not even think to slap them all on. Just for a test and not included in the benchmark. In the name of science! 🤙
my thoughts exactly. That was a dropped ball.
Really wish they did this, I’m trying to see if it works in my case.
@@Clash-333 yup same here
@@HollowRick I did it, it works well.
@@Clash-333 what air movement configuration did you find works best?
This is actually one of the few case reviews on GN i feel satisfied with, and it is all due to the fan experimentation here.
What i often feel is missing is a test of what a typical fan setup for a case is so i can get a more realistic impression of what it would be like.
I do get why they usually only use the included fans, cause they wanna test what you actually get for your money, but on higher end cases with fewer fans included, i feel this kinda does not represent the case properly, cause nobody building a gaming rig with a i7 and 1080 would ever just have 1 fan in a normal tower, so i would also like to see the "what you would normally install" scenario as well.
That timing with the battery backup was perfect.
Well timed ending :-D
Also a good review - as always.
finally an alternative case design, well done Lian Li & der8auer. IMHO if you buy regular fans (like Artic ones) with 50-60$ you can fully populate the case and have very good temps also 3 120mm fan blowing straight into the GPU section is heaven. even for a multi-GPU on air
Already preorderd :)
Me too, can't wait, and yes, as long as watercooled psu's are really hard to find, ill make use of those 2 psu mounts. Would be pointless to try to make the entire system dead silent only to have a psu fan spin up to 40+dba under load
Excellent review, very detailed.
Thank you!
Great review and best ending to a review ever.
I absolutely think 9 fans should have been tested. 3 bottom, 3 top, 3 ft side. I spoke to all my coworkers, they all agreed this should have been the test situation. Still would enjoy seeing
Do you know if it's a good way to handle it? I did 9 fans (3 for radiator exhaust on top with watercooled CPU, 3 intake bottom, and 3 exhaust on side just because when the fans I'm using are flipped over they look really dumb)
Amazing 😍😍😍
I like those progress bars to show how long is left to read the specs and test results. I wish everybody would include that kind of thing in their videos.
Very tempted by this case. Impressive showing for the watercooling focused version and I bet the Air version really does well on the charts.
EPIC ENDING!
This thing is literally always sold out lol whenever I check it out it seems to be hella popular
comprehensive! thank you for the upload
Good review. Great ending. 👍
Personally I'd like to see how this case does with 9 fans. I would think side and bottom intake and top exhaust would yield positive pressure and above average thermals.
I'm thinking of a purchase and utlising this configuration with a vertical gpu mount.. seems the most logical and coolest!
hardware canucks did that video LOL
@@MrrrrMime Don't think you can bottom intake with a vertical mount
Is that fan set-up possible for air cooling? im not into water cooling and i like this case
@@Mistilteinn. Think top 3 fans would be a bit redundant, if you were using an air cooler set to exhaust towards the back/IO shield - side & bottom intake plus the cpu fan would be enough to push hot air out through the back and top.
Well done der8auer!
@der8auer Would have been great if you would have done a similiar test on your channel.
Gut gemacht Roman, schade das du das nicht auch einen Ausführlicheren Test auf deinen Kanal gemacht hast, wäre schön gewesen.
He has integrity. No point in reviewing your own product.
I would have found it more usefal than what he has done...^^
Thanks for the temp testing and numbers.
Such a beautiful and compelling case I just watched the review again after watching it launch day 😂
Question, if I use an AIO for the CPU and 2 fans bottom and top would that allow optimal air flow?
what case fans were you using?
Steve mentioned at the beginning of the video Lian Li sent 9 fans. Three 120 mm are used. Are these non-rgb? Video is 2 years old. Out of stock.
I can't wait to finally get my hands on this beauty 😍 it's coming tomorrow. I'd love if you guys could review the RX 5700xt thicc2 as soon as it comes out
I really like the fact that you are very different from most reviewers out there. Flashy things is not what some people are after. I prefer function over form and knowledge which is what you're good at providing. Keep well.
I really wish Steve would have made a bigger deal of the vertical gpu performance. Second best CPU temps and BEST GPU temps is simply incredible. This is the first case I've seen that would make me want to do a vertical mount, genius design.
Does it have any dust filters? I don't recall him mentioning (may have missed it)
Kyle P 4 total dust filters. 1 on bottom, 1 on top, 2 on side. (1 for side intake, 1 for the psu)
So I did buy it and find out that it doesn't come with the vertical GPU mount and that it is a $50 USD extra. Not even sold here in Canada. This was the whole fucking reason I bought the damn thing.
Kyle P Thanks buddy, i just realised this too! The gpu mount is almost half as much as the whole case.. but crazy.
Kyle P i want this case so bad, wish it was a bit shorter (with the potential of taking it overseas once my assignment is done)
Side note... if you don't want to buy the Lian Li vertical mount, Cooler Master's vertical mount fits perfectly and is cheaper.
I wish there was a test of three side intake, 3 bottom intake, 3 top out and see what the thermals were like with that
Yeah, I'm kind of disappointed there was no test with top exhaust.
kibecru ?
Sorry I somehow thought I was on another channel!
@kibecru welcome back
yeah the assumption that people will only use 3 fans is crazy ... you can pick up fans so cheap that it is entirely unrealistic and made the thermal testing pointless
I bought this case a few months ago I'm alrdy stocking up on parts I'm so pumped to have this thing
John Moon What kind of cooling are you using and what’s your build list 👀
Sorry to hear about the power outage guys. Really thorough testing and we all know why :-), and frankly it deserves it. Nice box for his first time out of the gate. Would love to see Debauer jump in to the realm of Singularity some day! Great job again........................... AJ
I need that case in my life. Corsair's x460 is too small for two radiators, while this thing can house 3 360s and looks amazing. Either this one when it comes out or Define R6
Barteg Why would you need 3x 360mm rads? Do you pull 750+, watts regularly?
Mark Pearce one word
Vega
nuf said.
Not sure you'll be able to pull off a 360 at the bottom. This case has the motherboard mounts pushed all the way to down (to have clearance above) so I'm not sure you can fit a rad+fans there. Been looking for a case for a new WC loop and this one is looking good! :o
For noise reasons
Looks great! Now I'm *really* looking forwards to the air version. :)
I love my 570x but this case is one hell of a contender for my next PC. Right on Lian Li! Doing good.
The Air Version must be amazing. Probably the best case of 2018.
yea i bought the rl06 recently and i might regret it
Bill Nanos Its to good to regret it
the air cooled version will probably be modified for bigger coolers,since this is for watercooling mostly there is no reason to be so thicc
Sadly it looks like we have still 155mm clearance, according to Lian Li said to me on FB. WHICH SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I loved the case but when I saw that the air cooled one has the CPU clearance 155mm I got angry.
i get why you test the cases the way you do, but for a product like this, populating even a couple more fan slots wouldve been really useful information for prospective buyers like me, who cant tell if this case is the right one or not because youre not even using the case to its capabilities.
The size of the case may be related to the costs of shipping. Nice that you could use 2 PSU's! I do like how the tempered glass is attached to the case. Probably the best way yet, that I've seen. And the price is great. Of course, just like any build, you have to spend some time with the case to make it work for your needs/wants. Great review as always GN. Steve, hair looks great as usual too! Keep up the pro work you guys!
Would love to see a re-do on this with an AIO/watercooler. Don't know if you have a lot of comparison data, but might be interesting to see it compared with a couple of other watercooling-focused cases. I just feel like testing this with an air cooler is really missing the point of the case (not that you can't air cool it, but it's just not what it was designed for).
I've had a couple Lian Li over the years and it's great to see them entering the mid-range market.
I don't need this to replace my boxy corsair case right?
Guys?
*sees pre-order pricing on Newegg, decides to order anyway*
SilkMonkey you do!
If it's a 460x or 570x nah. If not then yes, maybe...probably.
oh gawd the gpu sag
nice case guys, love this channel
Just ordered this case with the 3 pack Corsair LL-120mm RGB fans and included controller. Pumped.
That gpu sag......
its an old worn out old girl
It's a high end aftermarket 1080, hardly old and worn out ...
Llewln GPU sag is more based on a worn out pcie slot, wich this could easily be, based on the amount of testing they did with it.
Whats a GPU sag?
@@quilliamattari2772 The card is hanging
Gamers Nexus, could you find something for the viewers ? The clearance for CPU cooler of the Dynamic version is
Have you arrived to any conclusion? Can't find anybody who actually made the measures!
@@SalemaPsy I went with the MSI Frozr L (with two push/pull fans) and a sheet of paper will just fit between the cooler and the glass side panel. I don't know how you could go any taller without it touching the glass. The Scythe Mugen 5 Rev.B (154.5 mm) and the Scythe FUMA Rev.B (149 mm) would probably be good options as well but I had trouble finding them for purchase. The black Noctuas are coming out in Q2 2019 and so they might have something then that looks good and fits. So far, we have no complaints about the Frozr L with two fans. It is very quiet and cooling is excellent on an i7-8700k, although I haven't overclocked yet. At stock I'm in the 20's at idel and 50's under heavy load. I currently have 3 front Noctua Chromax NF-F12 120mm front intake and 1 bottom intake. I plan to fill it up with fans once the new chromax are out in a few months, but right now I'd say that may only be for aesthetic reasons. With that current config the case is near silent at idle and just above silent at full load including an RTX 2060 3-fan Strix.
Damn you guys are awesome! Thanks for the vid!
Would love to see a review on the O11 mini
Zoidburg did you forget to pay the power bill again?!
Hi there mate, mine came with a square piece of rubber with a sticky side. Any idea what that is for?
Maybe it can prevent any rgb controllers from vibrating from the fan, maybe for the psu shroud to stop the psu from vibrating too or maybe for the feet
Seriously CANNOT wait for the air version to come for review. I'm on a hair trigger to buy that sucker soon as it receives your blessings.
Haha, lovely to see the show must go one, while electrisity is going down.. The outro animation has never fit better than this time. Thanks for another nice review :)
05:45 "No guys I promise, people really want this" xD
Curious. If it is designed for liquid cooling why was no liquid cooling testing performed? Or does GN never do that type of testing? Just air regardless of the case design target? Can you refer to a YT channel that did liquid testing?If I am out of touch I apologize.
there's a reviewer who uploaded a review with a pretty beautiful frosted hardline build out there, really gorgeous build.
GGF event , one of the best custom loop channels
I just got a awesome pc with this case I love it. I do have a closed loop water cooling but has the nzxt kraken z73 with lcd screen and that big lcd screen on it with all the glass on the case looks awesome and adding a tone of nzxt rgb just ties it all together. This case is definitely a case to show off everything you want to see in a pc and hides the stuff you don’t want to see like power supply’s and cords and a hard drive but can still show off ssd on the bottom cage where the fan can go too .
Would have loved to see a config with the CPU fan turned 180°, 1 intake top and bottom each, and 1 exhaust on the side...
I have no reason to buy this but I want it so bad. Maybe when I get a decent rig I'll get it, my system wouldn't do the case justice atm.
just get it, cases last forever and it is on a 24% discount :P
Aaaaand it's unavailable in the UK so nevermind haha!
$130 is a bit steep for a case without fans, but it does look really nice.
I do wish more companies made fan-less case variants. Corsair for instance makes probably the best RGB fans on the market but then only makes cases with fans pre-installed. It would be logical to offer a no fan variant so you could appeal to people who either already have nice fans they want to re-use or so you can push your own line of fans and undercut the competition on case price in the market segment of custom cooling customers.
Looking forward for Air review!
Leaves desk at work to use restroom while the thermal testing numbers are being explained. Comes back to desk and Steve is still at it several minutes later. The volume of information you guys provide is intense. Thank you.
Looks like a fish tank.
A display case.
edit: which is to say that this is not a bad thing.
This is the first time I like "tempered glass everywhere". That's a big compliment. Moving the PSU to the back which removes PSU shroud, that I never liked and the non-tinted glass which usually makes the case reveal too much actually makes the case look really good. It's a really nice implementation of TG that, yes makes it look like a fish tank, but a really beautiful one. Looks like a better fish tank than LTT's mineral oil PC lol
So you can fill it with 3M Novec :P
Indra Ida Bagus The glass is tinted, slightly.
I meant not the dark tint that only LEDs and parts illuminated are visible.
I have this case.. Just did a I7-8700K build in it.
If you buy one of these cases, remove the protective film on the glass panels and look it over carefully BEFORE building your system.
After putting everything in the case, I removed the film and found a nasty scuff mark in the side panel near the front on the edge.
I'm not returning it over the cosmetic issue. I sent an email to LIAN-LI asking about buying a replacement panel and they have not responded.
Other than the scuff, I love the looks! i.imgur.com/Z6FxYE3.jpg
Same happened with me.. except it was the front panel that had the nasty scratches.. i contacted the store i bought it from and got a 20$ gift card xD more fans i guess
Brilliant video! Would love to see temps with max fans and aio on cpu and or a full custom water loop.
Can’t decide between this and the Fractal R6.
I got this case in 2019 and I still love it. It has been a great investment for me.
I am sorry bro, I don't understand this testing with 3 fans. I would like to know max settings of what is capable. That's like reviewing Ferrari and only driving 80 MPH because most of the drivers will do only this speed on daily basis.
thinking about this case with 3900X but will have 9 fans in it :-) and that is the idea behind this case..why buy it and only have 3 fans ...blah
What kind of fans are you getting? I'm thinking of noctuas with phanteks RGB brackets. I just bought this case but haven't bought rest of the parts yet. 3 side intakes, 3 bottom exhaust sound good? I'm a n00b to fans

Nice review wanna get this 1 surely
Well you got me to buy it so thanks sir because I hope this build is gonna look like I want
Please do more Lian Li reviews.
Hey Steve, I understand and have loved why you do the realistic / average approach to what you'd do with a product, in this case the reasoning for the 3 fan limit choice... However, this case makes me think you should consider (if worth the extra time) doing a second approach as a "What would Steve do", eg; What would you do if you were buying this case for a build.
I think this because the $130 pricetag makes it a good choice on a budget / for the average builder, but I am actually going to buy this and I will have one radiator for CPU AIO, but I will still fill the remaining fan slots (at least 6). Even though the case is cheap, there's so much you could do with it, and it's cheap because it's barebones. Just a thought man!
